Amon Build Overview

Amon was raised in a Vault monster-worshipping cult—until the Vault was opened and the creature turned on everyone he loved. As the only survivor, he dedicates his life to finding and killing as many of these beasts as he can. Amon, a warrior-poet, is introspective and unflinching to his duty, but despite his hardened appearance, he has a warm attitude, often regaling comrades in arms with stories and advice earned throughout his travels.

In the reveal trailer, Amon (also known as the Forgeknight) can be seen wielding two elemental axes, a sword, a shield, a spear, a whip that launches projectiles, and a powerful hammer smash. He also seems to have a melee dash attack, which is probably one of his Skills. It is therefore likely that Amon will be a melee hitter who can charge into battle, giving him both decent mobility and strong crowd control properties. The skilled player will learn to combine this moveset with the basic movement actions in Borderlands 4, such as grappling, sliding, jumping and gliding.
